The Standard Group Plc is a
multi-media organization with investments in media platforms spanning newspaper
print operations, television, radio broadcasting, digital and online services. The
Standard Group is recognized as a leading multi-media house in Kenya with a key
influence in matters of national and international interest.
The Constitution mandates that general elections take place every five years on the second Tuesday of August. That means the next national election is due in August 2027 –exactly two years from now. Politics dominates public life in Kenya, so election talk is already heating up, especially around who will challenge incumbent President William Ruto.
Dr Ruto, currently in his first term, has announced he will seek re-election. His presidency began with a narrow win and has faced significant opposition, including frequent protests. Critics accuse him of economic mismanagement, unchecked corruption and lack of meritocracy in public appointments. However, such criticism may overlook the broader economic context.
